A couple of weeks ago I purchased a new laptop that closely resembles my previous laptop - 2.65 ghz, 4 RAM vs. 2.30 ghz, 4 RAM
Unfortunately, the new laptop if not playing well with Gemstone. I ran a test between the two laptops: I had someone take a character from both of my accounts from the Landing to Solhaven, multiple times. The character on the old laptop "arrived" twice as fast as the other each time, with the new laptop having multiple incidents of "freezing". No third party software was installed on either at instance at the time.
I don't even know where to begin to diagnose this problem. Help!

I don't know a whole lot, but I'd start with what background tasks are running on the new one that could be the culprit. GS freeze problems are usually internet related, so maybe you have something running that's updating or checking for updates or whatever, using bandwidth maybe?

Running in XP compatible mode was the first thing I did.
I've pretty much killed all non-essential processes. I don't think it's connection related - Dragons of Elanthia plays just fine, and all my ping-y tests come back acceptable. The one exception worth noting is when I ping www.gemstone.net I don't get a response.
Any more thoughts out there? I'm pretty much at a loss and beside myself.
